Yes, incredibly. I wanted to be angry but he kept saying he was so sorry a million times a minute I was more impressed with how quickly he could talk instead of placing my anger on him for the device.

Accidents happen though and I know I've more than once been the cause of breaking some high end electronic for not paying attention so I didn't dig into him too much.

That was one of the original plans I was kicking around in my head. It was either a Touch Diamond or Touch HD or I bite the bullet and plunge into the Android phone and than sell it if I didn't like it and go back to the Crackjack... Fate had other plans for me though

I wish HTC would just say "Hey Rocco, Sorry about your loss. Please use this pre-production Touch HD until we finally release one, then we'll hook yuo up on a good price since we love you sooooooo much"

A guy can dream, can't he?

Interesting fact. When I worked for Cingular they use to tell us that 86% of phones that suffer from water damage actually fell in the toliet so if a person brought a phone in with suspected water damage, you probably shouldn't play with it too much

SEE! It happens all the time

I took the battery out and since I have been home I have had the device sitting on the top of my fridge at the very make. This is one of the dryest spots in the house and it always worked for people I suggested it to in the past so I'm keeping my fingers crossed. If anything I want to get the pictures of my daughter off of it before it gets trashed (if it no longer works).
